Biographical/Historical Information

This poster ties in with the communist agitations and actions in Munich in the years 1918-19. The Bavarian People's Party, a centralist party, is trying to send the message that the Bavarian revolutionary government under Kurt Eisner (political leader of the USPD) is radicalized.
